Racional Vol. 1

GuerssenAdmin — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 22:00:00 +0000

Tim Maia’s fifth album released in 1975 on his own Seroma label. The lyrics are marked by his devotion to the “Rational Culture” and its religious-philosophical cult. Musically, in addition to the evident Brazilian influence, we can find some echoes of soul and funk from masters like Barry White, Marvin Gaye or George Clinton.

Racional Vol. 2

The rare second volume of Tim Maia’s Racional album series from the 70s – even funkier and more harder-edged than the first! The record really follows the heavy soul influence that Tim had been hitting on his early 70s albums for Polydor – a strong dose of American funk and R&B, especially from the east coast indie scene – filtered down beautifully by Maia, one of the few cats in Brazil at the time who really knew how to get the sound right – and how to mix it with the best of his local influences! There’s some wonderful grooves here – definitely of the funky Brazilian type you-d know from the Samba Soul generation, but also much more solidly soul, too – given Tim’s fantastic vocals, and strong ear for putting over a tune!
